Blue Mont-Sainte-Anne, QC
La Pichard drops 1,188 vertical feet over 6,604 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 2,650 feet below the top. That's steeper than 41% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 44th steepest of 74 named runs at Mont-Sainte-Anne. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 10°, La Pichard gets about 109% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont-Sainte-Anne does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th sunniest named run at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Its top sits at 2,230 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
